1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Our understanding of the mechanisms of effect of Ginkgo Seed Polysaccharides (GSPs) on the immune system remains unclear. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of GSPs on the maturation and function of bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). The results demonstrate that GSP could exert positive immune modulation on the maturation and functions of BMDCs. This effect was evidenced by decreased changes of phagosome number inside BMDCs, decreased activity of acidic phosphatase (ACP), decreased phagocytosis of BMDCs, and increased changes of key membrane molecules on BMDCs. Upregulated production of cytokines IL-12 and TNF-α also was confirmed. Therefore, it can be concluded that GSPs can efficiently induce the maturation of BMDCs. Our exploration provides direct data and a rationale for potential application of GSPs as an immune enhancer in improving immunity and as a potent adjuvant in the design of DC-based vaccines.
